Additional Features¶
Safety Stand¶
We designed a safety stand that securely holds ToddlerBot, allowing you to place it on a table or the ground and test it without requiring it to stand on its own. The instructions are detailed in the Safety Stand section.
Teleoperation Arms¶
Inspired by ALOHA, we built a teleoperation system for ToddlerBot by assembling a second upper body as the leader arms. This allows intuitive control—simply hold its hands and guide it like a toddler. The instructions are in the Teleoperation Arms (WIP) section.
DIY Battery Pack¶
Switching from an off-the-shelf LiPo battery to four 21700 cells can double battery life. However, this is recommended only for advanced users experienced with soldering and handling electronics.
Warning
A 21700 battery holds a significant amount of energy and can be hazardous if mishandled. Handle with care, and avoid puncturing the insulation layer.
